Oil painting swirls, raging storms and Jupiter's famous 'Great Red Spot': Stunning close-ups of the planet are captured by NASA'S Juno probe Stunning images captured by NASA space telescope JunoCam shows swirling gas clouds covering JupiterThe dramatic pictures of Jupiter's 'chaotic and turbulent' clouds are colour-enhanced by NASA technicians Junocam is designed to take pictures of the planet's polar regions to give clues about how it was formedThe solar-powered spacecraft was launched in 2011 and entered a polar orbit of Jupiter in July, 2016

While plenty of images of the planet's north hemisphere exists, the new images show the southern hemisphere of Jupiter.

NASA's Juno orbiter probe has revealed detailed images of the swirling gas clouds covering Jupiter. JunoCam captured close-up photos of Jupiter's poles, as well as the shroud of swirling clouds that cover the gas giant.

While plenty of images of the planet's north hemisphere exists, the new images show the southern hemisphere of Jupiter. The latest images of Jupiter's swirling cloud formation was processed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory

The Juno orbiter was launched on August 5, 2011 and entered a polar orbit of the planet in July, 2016. Its mission is to search for clues about how the planet formed and for the first time, the JunoCam has captured close-up photos of Jupiter's poles

The stunning close-up detail was captured by the camera on the spacecraft known as the JunoCam, specifically designed to take pictures of the planet's polar regions
